211 UNIVERSAL HOUSE OF JUSTICE, MEMBERSHIP
"As regards your question concerning the membership of the Universal House of Justice, there is a Tablet from Abdu'l- Baha in which He definitely states that the membership of the Universal House is confined to men and that the wisdom of it will be fully revealed in the future. In the local, as well as the National Houses of Justice, however, women have the full right of membership. It is therefore, only to the International House that they cannot be elected. The Baha'is should accept this statement of the Master in a spirit of deep faith, confident that there is a divine guidance and wisdom behind it, which will be gradually unfolded to the eyes of the world." (80:1)
